My husband was 6'4" 225lbs... He used it ... There should be a weight limit on the website. I do not remember if there was one or not.

I truly don't know. I should think that he could go to the manufacturer's website and simple ask. If I had to guess, I'd say at least 350 lbs. It's very well made & designed with a man in mind. I say that because of the height and contour of the table/bed. I personally wish they had a female-oriented contoured table/bed. Since it is contoured for a man, however, I think that says a lot about how heavy a man it will handle.

Ive never tested the absolute limits of this machine but You could fit 5 45lb plates on either side. Thats a lot of weight to lift. The cable is definitely strong enough and the pulleys seem adequate.

The machine I purchased said it could hold 350 pounds. I would not rec anything over 300.

Looks like it is 200 lbs. Sole E55 Elliptical TrainerIt certainly felt that heavy while setting it up. This is a machine you want to assemble in the room where it will reside. The flywheel assembly alone required two people to move.

I am 6'3, 200lb. and it works just fine. There are better machines out there but not at this price.

it is heavy (awkward), but can be disassembled and put in a bag or cart. Great machine though... glad I bought it.

I didn't remember the weight capacity, however the machine is built heavy & strong. Would handle well over 300#. I like the suggestion of the swivel seat. Would be a big help. May try it myself.

It can accommodate that weight, but depending on your body shape you may have difficulty using it. I'm considerably lighter but with very wide hips. My hips touch both side and it can be very annoying to always be rubbing against the machine.

heaviest part would weigh about 70 lbs. very clumsy to try to handle up and down stairs. good machine but not something I would want to manhandle a lot. I am the same age as you and definitely wouldn't want to carry it very far.

Hi! Thanks for your question. The maximum user weight on this model is 300 pounds. We checked with the Stamina product expert, and these height and weight ranges should be no problem on this machine. -Allison at MassageSupplier - PilatesSupplier

Hello: If you're in reasonable health I see no problem with the issue of weight. The unit will be sitting on the surface when in use. The only time weight is a consideration is when the machine is lifted for storage. About the same weight as a large vacuum cleaner. BTW: Unit still in use and has not experienced any failures. The wife loves it. She uses it to clean the back porch. Need to be careful with the real heavy spring snow to keep the motor from getting overloaded and slowing down. A little at a time is a good rule to remember. Sure beats the shovel.

You can do it but it does take a bit of "muscle". I'm 5'7", 130 lbs and pretty fit. I use a 9 volt air mattress pump to start it and finish it off with the hand pump to get to pressure. Probably takes me 10 minutes total. I definitely need to put my body weight into the last couple minutes. Totally worth it though!

11lbs You may call this a "ton". but this machine will do the kneading for you without getting any mess on your hands, a strong motor inside doing the spinning of a 3cup sticky dough. That's why you will need some weight on bread machine.One important trick, is the use of yeast and depends on your location you may not want to follow the pre-programmed process or give it more (or less) time to raise the dough. Do some small experiment first will help.

Mo, it is not suitable for a tall person. also, the quality of this machine is poor. Choose something else. Boris

I would recommend this machine because you can adjust the resistance to as low as 5 lbs per side. This unit has very few moving parts and it is safe to use alone without the risk of anything trapping the user if you become fatigued.

Yes, it is quite heavy. This is a commercial grade machine, all in one flat box.
